1 Corinthians 3:4-9

"For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."

I just sent out this week's prayer requests by email to our ministry partners. Please join us in praying this week.

Dear friends and family,

We'd like to share with you a few ways you can pray this week for our family this week.


1. Tomorrow, Monday, October 19th, please pray as we travel to immigration. In November, we need to renew our tourist visas. For various reasons, we do not feel it would be best to leave the house alone right after we move in. So, Matt and I will be traveling separately to renew our visas. Because of this, we need to obtain special papers stating that Matt has given me permission to leave the country with the girls without him and I have given Matt permission to leave with Ethan without me. The process is a bit more complicated than we first anticipated (why should this surprise us anymore? :] ). So, we need to go to the immigration office, obtain notarized birth certificates for all three children, then proceed to prepare and obtain these permission forms.

We ask that you please pray for this whole process to go smoothly and only take us one trip to the office. Often times, things like this take two or more trips. We really need to be able to accomplish this Monday in order to have the rest of the week to prepare for our move. Please pray for short lines, understanding and patient Costa Rican workers, clear language from both the workers and from us, as well as an overall short process. We all 5 have to be there for the entire process.


2. Please pray also for all the things that need to be finished this week for the move. It is crunch time, so to speak, and this is a really big move. Please pray for each of us, particularly Matt and I, to be slow to anger, to be patient with each other and with our kids, and for the kids as the deal with all the emotions of moving.


3. We ask that you continue to pray for our transportation needs. We are trusting God to provide for this real need for our family. Will you please join us in praying?


4. Pray also that we can secure trustworthy, reliable movers this week. Please pray for this expense as well.


We thank you for praying with us.


In Christ,

Brooke :)
